This is a must win for Dallas IMO. I believe if this one goes in the shitter, the season is right behind it.
Weeden needs to go..put Cassel in...I believe he'll be better at going thru the 2nd and 3rd reads.
Agreed.
I'm already preparing myself for the season to be a waste because I honestly don't think we can expect better offensive production with Dez and Romo out than what we got on Sunday.
28 points and we still lose? That's a terrible sign.
If we lose to the Saints, the season is officially over unless the entire division keeps losing and losing. If we can't beat a very vulnerable and beatable Atlanta team after scoring 28 first half points, nor an 0-3 Saints team going on a year and half of playing bad football, then you can throw in the towel.
There is no damn way we're going to beat New England or Seattle, and the Giants and Eagles are already tough games even when we're at full strength, so I'd favor them against us as well. Those are 4 games that are all very likely to end in losses. After the Saints, the only truly winnable game I see between now and Romo's return (The Miami game the Sunday before Thanksgiving) is the Bucs game. That means in order for us to have a chance be .500 at the halfway mark (which is the worst I think we can afford to be), we have to beat the Saints. After that, any victory between then and the Bucs game would be icing on the cake......but I wouldn't count on it.
If we get to .500 at the halfway mark, and assuming the Eagles or Giants just don't start clicking or get hpt, we'll still have a shot to win the division. Lose vs the Saints, though, and it's over.
